Amazon US has the Locked N' Loaded set at $679, as one of their "Lightning Deals" for today, 11/21/18. Deal ends at 2AM Eastern Standard Time. Unsure if it will go lower on Black Friday....perhaps it will stay at $679. I'm sure it will. We're edging closer and closer to my $499 price point! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which suggests your price point (or better) is increasingly likely. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The official site has it knocked down to 649 now and you can use GNR10 to get 10% off which brings it to about 625 shipped after tax. someone mentioned a 20% coupon got sent around recently...does anyone have that?

Tourettes2400 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I still think it is over priced, but the more it drops, the more I consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just hang on to it in case my AT-LP240 goes down but I'm certain I could sell it for $250/$300 if I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bands are selling a product on the market (concerts, merch, music) and they do so at a price that is designed to equal out supply and demand while maximizing profit. A band like GNR is really no different than a company like Apple. Apple sells their iPhones at ridiculous prices compared to how much it costs to produce them. Why? Because their loyal following will pay those prices. If enough people stopped paying those prices, basic economics would force the price down for future iPhones. Same is true for GNR - as long as they are at an optimal Supply/Demand price point, why change? Why sell a stadium of 40,000 seats at $30 when they can do so at $130? It will change when economics forces it to. This isn't meant to sound cold, but companies (bands) are typically not in the business of making less money than the the market will support. exactly. no reason to put less money in your hands/bank account.

Azifwekare Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Well, I've got my RSD SOYL single on it's way to me now. That was the only thing I really needed from the box. It's a shame there's no release of the full set of tracks with just the CDs, I'd prefer a nice little box set instead of them just being stuck into the side of a book.
